Chapter 287 Acting Alone
In the ugly eyes of the wizards of the Secret Fire Academy, Locke slowly turned around and looked at them, and the natural magic eye on his forehead turned.
Wayne Acosta, the wizard seed of the Secret Fire Yard, had a sudden change in his face, "Let's retreat quickly, we will find other marching ant colonies."
"The Beholder Wizard is well-deserved, his combat power is too powerful."
At this moment, Wayne felt the huge gap in combat power between him and Locke.
If he dares to take action, Locke will definitely not mind making them unable to leave the Forbidden Forest. There are so many dangers inside the Forbidden Forest anyway.
The five secret fire wizards all recited spells, turned into a flame, and fled into the distance.
After Locke was sure that they were far away, he put away his blood activation state and said to everyone who looked at him with more and more respect: "I only need the glands of the queen of army ants, and I will share the rest with you. The remaining materials of the army ants will also be shared with you for the time being."
"Besides, I will temporarily leave the team for a period of time. During this time, you have to explore the Forbidden Forest on your own."
"As compensation, I will give you a magic painting map of the Forbidden Forest. It contains key exploration areas within the Forbidden Forest and different areas, and materials that can be harvested in different directions. This can help you explore the outside of the Forbidden Forest. Sebastian, you can serve as the temporary leader of this exploration team."
"The magic painting map, please return it to me afterward."
Locke is ready to leave the team and go looking for the five-hundred-year-old special research project.
Although Nickerson and Sebastian did not understand why Locke did this for the time being, after the conflict with the people from the Secret Fire Academy, these people became more convinced of Locke.
Hence, they did not dare to ask any more questions for the moment. They could only express their approval to Locke and thank him for sharing the magic map with them.
In this way, they will be more confident that they will harvest the treasure they want in the dense forest.
Furthermore, Locke just killed the queen of marching ants and severely damaged the colony of marching ants. This group of marching ants lost their backbone and became very easy to kill. This was also a huge gain.
Not to mention that Locke didn't need it at all. This was the body of a marching ant queen that was close to the first-level level.
Of course, this is also because now, Locke's main goal is to become an official wizard, and the biological materials on the marching ant queen are of no use to him at all.
The only thing is its glands, which can barely be regarded as a useful material at the first stage, so Locke took them away.
After Sebastian and others left, Locke snapped his fingers, and an 8-ring pointer made of rusty metal suddenly appeared in front of him.
In this year, Locke has completely learned the three basic spells of archaeologists-summoning tomb spirits, historical projection, and ancient pointers.
The ancient pointer spell is composed of [rust particles] among 210 types of negative energy particles.
Because [Rust Particles] have the characteristic of ultra-long distance resonance with other [Rust Particles]. Moreover, [Rust Death Particles] will only exist in very ancient places where metal exists. Without some age, it is even impossible for such negative energy particles to appear.
This is a dark energy particle, which is polluted by death, time, decay, and metal, and presents a special particle state.
Apprentice-level wizards generally do not use black magic involving such particles.
But [Rust Particle] also has a third characteristic, that is, as long as it is combined with a special material breath, it will resonate again with a specific special material breath, thus producing characteristics similar to pointers.
It has been written in the Tombstone Grimoire that the existence of [Rust Death Particles] seems to prove that the time and space of this world has some kind of universal resonance that has not been accurately proven.
It explains why ancient things naturally attract other ancient things.
The [Rust Particles] themselves are also the culprit that can corrupt the magic alloy, making it impossible for the magic alloy to exist for a long time.
Locke put a breath he got from Foucault's original manuscript in the Great Library on the ancient pointer. Suddenly, a special magical light appeared on the surface of the rusty pointer. The ancient pointer suspended in mid-air began to rotate slowly and turned in a certain direction.
"This magic is really useful for finding specific targets." Locke's eyes flashed with joy. "Of course, because of the special resonance properties of [Rust Death Particles], it is full of inconvenience when used to find modern items and living people."
"The effect will be very poor. Although it can be found, it will be found, but the accuracy will be very low. This magic is best used to resonate with ancient items."
"Items that are five hundred years old can barely be regarded as ancient items, although they will certainly not automatically produce [rust particles]."
Locke used the Big Green Owl Banana, flew into the air, and passed a group of screaming willows. The group of screaming willows suddenly let out a deafening scream after noticing a moving object flying over them.
But Locke had already picked a sound-absorbing mushroom in advance and created a circle of silence around himself, blocking all the screams from the screaming willow trees.
Locke looked at the ancient pointer in front of him and saw that the pointer was shaking slightly, which showed that the target was very close. Otherwise, the pointer will only keep pointing in a certain general direction. Only when it is close to the destination, the pointer will shake slightly, which means that it is near the destination.
Locke made a circle in the air. Currently, there was a swamp below him, and he found nothing unusual.
But it doesn't matter. Locke used these data to calculate the specific location of his destination in the swamp based on his different positions and the angle of the pointer's swing.
"Is it hidden by the magic of the Illusion School?" Locke said: "Found it, there."
Locke fell from the sky and landed on a rock in the swamp. Suddenly, after he stepped on the rock, a research institute hidden by the illusion school was exposed in front of Locke's eyes.
The illusion magic that hides this research institute seems to be a ring of magic, so if you don't stand in this special position, you cannot see, touch, or perceive this research institute in any way.
But as long as you stand in this position, the illusion magic of the Hidden Research Institute will automatically fail.
Locke was able to determine the location of this institute through the magic of archaeologists. If he didn't know the magic of archaeologists, it would have taken him who knows how many more years to find his goal bit by bit through the records in the library and the fragmented information in the memory of Wizard Foucault.
But if something unexpected happens during this process, such as being aware of one's intentions by outsiders, it will easily be tragic.
Perhaps someone found this research institute in advance... In short, Locke is very lucky now that he has learned archaeological magic.
